| description | In this research, the critical link between work life balance and job performance, and between employee engagement and job satisfaction is interrogated with an understanding of how these relationships impact people's well-being at work as well as organizational performance. Employing the SATA tool, survey data were analyzed and the results confirmed that work-life balance has positive correlations with job satisfaction. The results hence emphasize work-related policies, flexible work schedules and individual approaches to work-life conflict. How technology makes this model flexible as well as creates challenges for working people is explained, and there are some options to enhance the work-life balance. |

Employing the SATA tool, survey data were analyzed and the results confirmed that work-life balance has positive correlations with job satisfaction. The results hence emphasize work-related policies, flexible work schedules and individual approaches to work-life conflict. How technology makes this model flexible as well as creates challenges for working people is explained, and there are some options to enhance the work-life balance. En este estudio se analiza el vínculo fundamental entre el equilibrio entre la vida profesional y personal y el rendimiento laboral, así como entre el compromiso de los empleados y la satisfacción en el trabajo, con el fin de entender cómo influyen estas relaciones en el bienestar de las personas en el trabajo y en el rendimiento de la organización. Se utilizó la herramienta SATA para analizar los datos de la encuesta, y los resultados confirmaron que el equilibrio entre la vida laboral y personal tiene una correlación positiva con la satisfacción laboral. De ahí que los resultados hagan hincapié en las políticas relacionadas con el trabajo, los horarios flexibles y los enfoques individuales del conflicto trabajo-vida privada. Se explica cómo la tecnología flexibiliza este modelo a la vez que crea retos para los trabajadores, y se presentan algunas opciones para mejorar el equilibrio entre vida laboral y personal.
